None of the bloggers who submitted quotes knew about this aspect of the terms of service. Laura says, “I had no idea about either this clause or the fact that my photo was used on the Payless website. I don’t suppose I mind too much, although it would have been nice for Chictopia to have even attempted to contact me to inform me of this. Finding out this way really adds a negative spin on the whole thing, it could have been rewarding to see myself featured by such a high profile company but instead I feel like my property and rights have been violated.” Keiko and Elizabeth admitted they did not read the terms of service either, and noted that it was their responsibility to do so.

It's definitely benefited me and helped me expand my horizons. It's so much easier to get inspired from real people, rather than magazine spreads and runway photos. I guess I would be a "style seeker" trying to get out of my comfort zone and "uniform" outfit of jeans and a black t-shirt. Trying to be more creative and define a style for myself is the reason I started blogging, to document my progress and to have fun. With Chictopia, I connect with other people like myself and many whom are different from me who I have a lot to learn from. Thanks for the Q &A :) .-= Lianna J´s last blog ..<a href="http://liannaj.blogspot.com/2009/11/birthday-yay-i-am-no-longer-baby.html" rel="nofollow">Birthday!! Yay I am no longer a baby</a> =-.
